New film on the recycling of lead-acid batteries in Ghana

Within the scope of funding provided by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for the research project "Global Circular Economy of Strategic Metals – Best-of-two-Worlds Approach (Bo2W)", a film has been produced in Ghana that focuses on the problem of unsound lead-acid battery recycling in Africa.

The film shows, with striking images, the major challenges facing closed-loop materials management in Africa using the example of lead-acid battery recycling and explains the Bo2W-based solution implemented as an example within the project.
